Summer

Secret Garden

June 9, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

My default color is black and a lot of my outfits are made with more neutral tones. When I do wear color it’s usually rich jewel tones or dark muted hues. But something about this neon floral really struck me. The style is very sophisticated and transitional. You could wear it to work, to a…Read More

June 4, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This slip dress was marketed as outerwear, but with the nylon and satin blend fabric, lace trim, and spaghetti straps, it’s really a nightgown. So naturally my first impulse was to wear it out in public. This outfit gives off a very “I woke up, threw on some lipstick, left the house, and happen to…Read More

At the end of my time in the Netherlands the weather in Well began to warm up. On a particularly balmy day I couldn’t help but wear these adorable ice cream shorts. In the past I’ve had trouble mixing prints but I found harmony between the pastel shorts and strong polka dots. Top: Charlotte Russe…Read More
